Abstract

BACKGROUND AND AIMS

Higher total fruit and vegetable (FV) intakes have been associated with lower perceived stress. However, the relationship of FV intake with domains of perceived stress is unclear. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to explore the relationship between consumption of FV and four perceived stress domains (worries, tension, lack of joy and demands) in a population-based cohort of Australian adults.

METHODS

Participants (n = 8,640) were men and women aged ≥25 years from the Australian Diabetes, Obesity and Lifestyle (AusDiab) Study. Dietary intake was assessed using a 74-item validated Food Frequency Questionnaire. Perceived stress domains were determined using a validated 20-item version of the Perceived Stress Questionnaire, with higher scores representing higher perceived stress. Cut-offs for high perceived stress domains were obtained from the highest quartiles of each domain for each sex. Multivariable-adjusted logistic regression was performed to investigate cross-sectional associations.

RESULTS

The mean age of participants (50.1% females) was 47.8 (SD 15) years. Those with higher intakes of FV, combined and separately, had a significantly lower odds (16-36%) for higher worries, tension and lack of joy, independent of other lifestyle factors.

CONCLUSION

In Australian adults, higher consumption of FV was associated with lower odds of worries, tension and lack of joy. Following the dietary guidelines for the recommended intake of FV may help improve feelings of worries, tension and lack of joy, which are linked to mental health problems.

摘要

背景与目的

较高的水果和蔬菜（FV）总摄入量与较低的感知压力相关。然而，FV摄入量与感知压力各领域之间的关系尚不清楚。这项横断面研究的目的是在一个基于人群的澳大利亚成年人队列中，探讨FV消费与四个感知压力领域（担忧、紧张、缺乏愉悦感和需求）之间的关系。

方法

参与者（n = 8640）为来自澳大利亚糖尿病、肥胖与生活方式（AusDiab）研究的年龄≥25岁的男性和女性。使用一份经过验证的包含74个条目的食物频率问卷评估饮食摄入量。使用经过验证的20个条目的感知压力问卷确定感知压力领域，得分越高表示感知压力越大。高感知压力领域的临界值来自于按性别划分的每个领域的最高四分位数。进行多变量调整的逻辑回归以研究横断面关联。
